+## Proposal Update 2024/09/05
+
+- Wobole completed this proposal Jan 22, 2022 as confirmed independantly by 2, native german, community members.
+- A partial address was posted in [this payout request](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/237#note_21125). 
+- The full address was never shared with Luigi or the acting CCS Coordinator at that time.
+- Wobole has 1 year from now, to attempt to claim these funds by pasting a _new_ payout address from the same Gitlab account. 
+- After 2025-09-05 the entire balance (9.9 XMR) will be returned to the General Fund.
+
+---
+
+Hello everybody, this is Wobole again :)
+
+## What and Why
+I’m proposing to translate the subtitles of “Monero Means Money” and “Sound Money, Safe Mode” via Weblate. 
+As I wrote in my last [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html), I feel a thorough localization of the (often pretty complex) world around Monero to be extremely useful, both for intermediates as well as potential future users who are just diving into the matter but are also keen to understand the technical and economic advantages and complexities Monero comprises. And frankly, it would simply be a pity having such high-quality educational and factful contents around which are accessible, but not understandable for many people. I’d really enjoy to change that.
+
+## Who
+I have translated a lot of strings and am one of the most active translators and suggestors on the [Monero Weblate platform](https://translate.getmonero.org/stats/). Feel free to take a look at [my Weblate profile](https://translate.getmonero.org/user/Wobole/) for an impression of my activities. After having translated a significant amount of the GUI wallet, some parts of the CLI wallet and most of the website (all as a volunteer) I was happy to be funded by the community for translating the User Guides and the Moneropedia entries on getmonero.org (and to be able to push for some consistency within the German localization :)). See the related [proposal](https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/Translation-getmonero-german.html) in the CCS. 
+
+## Proposal and milestones
+This proposal includes the following two milestones: 
+1. Translation of the subtitles of “Monero Means Money”
+2. Continued translation of the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode”
+
+The “Monero Means Money” subtitles comprise 11,689 words, the subtitles of “Sound Money, Safe Mode” 12,405 words. 62 strings of the latter have been translated already; averaging a string with roughly 6,25 words multiplied by 62 makes almost 390 already translated words. For the 1st milestone this equals 4.9 XMR and for the 2nd 5 XMR, totalling up to 9.9 XMR.
+As with the last paid translations and of course the voluntary ones I’m looking forward to delivering high-quality translations to help making Monero more and more used and adopted internationally. If this proposal gets funded, I am going to start working on the translations immediately, and I believe to finish both milestones within a maximum of two months. 
+
+Thanks a lot for reading!

+
+# What
+
+Would love to prolong my Monero coding for another 3 months and dedicate 40h/week, i.e. to work full-time.
+
+There are some specific tasks i would like to work on first.
+
+* CORE: Integrate **@tevador**'s 14-word seed (with wallet restore height encoded) library (related discussion https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/6639, PoC https://github.com/tevador/monero-seed)
+* GUI: Tooltips implementation
+* GUI: Restoring wallet from seed - next word prediction/suggestion
+* GUI: Remote node mode - multiple remote nodes support
+
+As usual will be working on Monero Core and Monero GUI code:
+* Inspecting and implementing ongoing feature requests
+* Submitting bug fixes
+* New functionality
+* Code review
+* Putting my efforts where it is appropriate
+
+# Who
+
+I'm Xiphon, active contributor to Monero Core and Monero GUI since July 2018.

+
+During the recent 30h/week proposal i implemented:
+* GUI: Reproducible Windows builds (docker)
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/#building-reproducible-windows-static-binaries-with-docker-any-os
+* GUI: Docker Windows static build: Qt 5.15 support
+* GUI: Send to multiple addresses
+  https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pull/3332
+* CLI: Auto-updater. Updates downloading and verification functionality *Work In Progress*
+
+in order to not clutter the proposal i'm not listing all the related pull requests. I strongly encourage you to visit the following Github links to see the amount of work done by me, its quality and importance for the Monero Project.

+
+What?
+
+XMRChat is website that provides content creators with a service, allowing them a way to receive messages and tips in Monero. We launched https://xmrchat.com/ on 8/4/2024, using it for the first time in MoneroTopia episode 177, where Doug interviewed Saeed, going over the project and what the site is capable of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1sy8ICsgBQ. We are looking to raise a total amount of 114 XMR at this time, split in 4 milestones as seen above.
+
+Website: https://xmrchat.com/
+X Account: https://x.com/xmr_chat
+Code: https://github.com/sa8ab/xmrchat
+
+How we got started?
+
+In early 2024, FiatDemise was watching a streamer, one that accepts tips from viewers and reads their messages as part of their show. They accept fiat using YouTube Superchats, Rumble Rants, and Streamlabs. They publicly stated they’d like to accept crypto too. FiatDemise started a conversation with their staff to try to get them to use Luke Smith’s Shadowchat. FiatDemise volunteered to pay for a company to install and configure it too. After some promising back and forth, FiatDemise got a response saying the team’s web dev / admin was too busy with current projects and they didn’t want to devote any time towards installing or managing Shadowchat. FiatDemise learned that the market wanted a very simple solution that doesn’t require any installation, hosting, or technical knowledge.
+
+At the time, FiatDemise was volunteering as a tester for xmrbazaar and raised the idea of a simple, hosted superchat solution in that Matrix group. Doug supported it right away, and we began working on requirements and giving shape to the vision with a Balsamiq wireframe. We worked with one developer to create a rough proof of concept. Then we found Saeed, a talented developer who could take the project to the next level. We saw the limitation of RPC, only being able to monitor incoming tips for one wallet, which wouldn’t work with the goal of hosting a solution for many content creators. After research, trial and error, and consultations with VTNerd and Radanne, we got LWS to work. After several more updates, the MVP was launched.

+### Proposal closed
+

+
+# What
+[xmrSale](https://github.com/xmrsale/xmrSale) is a lightweight Monero payment processor that connects to your own Monero node, striving to be modular and lightweight. xmrSale has an accessible API written in python that talks to your own Monero node, uses RPC to generate new addresses, and monitors payment success with your own copy of the Monero blockchain.
+
+xmrSale will make it easy to embed Monero donation buttons into your website with an HTML iframe tag, accepting donations from your supporters and community. Through an xmrSale Woocommerce plugin, we are going to allow anyone to self-host their own Monero accepting online store. Monero has been thriving in the "host your own tools" niche of the internet, and self-custody payments are crucial in this mission. Existing Monero eccommerce processors are custodial, sacrificing the privacy of you and your customers.
+
+You can explore a demo of xmrSale here: [https://try.xmrsale.org](https://try.xmrsale.org)
+
+** Please do not donate using the demo, please donate via the CCS **
+
+# Who
+As an anonymous developer, to prove my intention and dedication I have already put significant work into establishing the project to a working state (experimental!), and am somewhat close to achieving the first milestone.
+
+# Milestones
+With your support, I will continually work to ensure that xmrSale remains up-to-date with the SatSale project (from which we are based on), and also build above and beyond Monero specific features as listed below.
+
+**Functioning Monero payment processor with node connection and docker image** (September)
+* Get the project into a functioning state, where anyone running a Monero node could clone the repository, edit the config, and run xmrSale themself.
+* Docker image installation option
+* Instant payments
+* Functioning xmrSale woocommerce plugin
+
+**Text tutorial docs and website** (September)
+* Write coherent and easy to follow installation instructions, aligned to various node configurations.
+* Multiple example configs. Tor & HTTPS configurations. Nginx
+* A functioning wordpress Monero store, with a demo store hosted 24/7
+* Text tutorial
+* Basic HTML and CSS website
+
+**Zeronode mode viewkeys** (December)
+* A mode that does not require a node to run, uses block explorers and viewkeys to check payments.
+
+**RPC via tor hidden service** (December)
+* Rather than use SSH to bridge to node, add option for Tor hidden services.
+
+**Build a plugin for another ecommerce site** (Q1)
+* Community can decide! Perhaps shopify? Let us know!
+
+# Further development and research (not current milestones)
+* Improved user interface
+* More consistent price feeds (preload price too)
+* Single click install container that deploys to a VPS with a node
+* Any developments in the monero payment protocol. Including any layer 2.
+* Security analysis
+* Stress test under concurrent payments
+* Improved user experience with payment timeouts
+* Video installation tutorials
+
+I will take community desire very seriously to guide this project, so if there is something you want but don't see here then please let us know! This proposal will expire 1 March, 2022.
+
